Realizing this, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Composing herself, she said in a clear voice, "Come with me."
She then turned and walked up the mountain, leaving behind only a beautiful silhouette.
The crowd was somewhat taken aback. Over the years, they had grown accustomed to Master Yan rejecting all men in the world, but now they saw her let the man in so easily.
Does this mean that the abbot has already agreed to the marriage between him and the sect's holy maiden?
Ignoring the various thoughts of the crowd, Zu An quickly followed Yan Xuehen to her side and quietly took her hand.
Yan Xuehen was startled and hurriedly tried to pull her hand back, but the other party held it tightly and she couldn't move it at all.
"Are you crazy?" Yan Xuehen was so anxious that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Surrounded by Bai Yujing's disciples, being held hand-in-hand by him in public would not only cause an uproar throughout the sect, but Bai Yujing would likely become a laughingstock, a master stealing his disciple's man...
"Don't worry, they can't see it." Zuan smiled. In his previous battle with the Shadow Demon King, he had learned that the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique could create a "black hole" that would distort the surrounding space, and the light would naturally be distorted as well.
All the people could see were two people side by side, with a blurry area in between, making it impossible to tell what they were.
Yan Xuehen was taken aback. She quickly released her divine sense to sense the area and found that she couldn't see anything clearly from the side. She then breathed a sigh of relief.
How did you do that?
"It's just distorting the surrounding space..."
Zu Anxuan quickly explained the general principles to her. Yan Xuehen listened with admiration in her eyes, and after a long while, she exclaimed, "You really are a cultivation prodigy."
“Of course he’s a prodigy, otherwise why would I be holding your hand?” Zuan smiled.
Yan Xuehen's heart pounded. She had never imagined that the two of them could walk hand in hand in the sect in public like this. This feeling was both taboo and indescribably joyful.
"This is a sect after all. Once we get to the front, you'd better let go of me quickly."
“Didn’t you want to walk with me a little longer? Otherwise, you would have flown away just now, instead of walking on this mountain path.” Zu An’s lips curled up slightly.
"You..." Yan Xuehen felt as if her thoughts had been exposed, and she was both ashamed and anxious in an instant.
For some reason, Zu'an enjoyed seeing her embarrassed and annoyed. However, remembering his purpose, he sighed and gave up the idea of teasing her further: "By the way, how is Chu Yan?"
His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
Yan Xuehen suddenly fell silent, and after a long while replied, "I'm sorry, Chu Yan has disappeared."
